English Translation

agree that, in view of the serious illness of the General Superior Daluge, the resumption of his duties as Deputy Reich Protector is not to be expected at all, that it is therefore not advisable to deepen the question of a deputy representative of the Supreme General during his illness, but rather to examine in general the question who should exercise the powers of the Reich Protector when General Superior Daluge is finally released from his business as Deputy Imperial Protector (see para.4). 4.) Who should be Reichsprotektor or deputy Reichspretektor? I explained that about four solutions are in question: a) Reichsprotector Freiherr von Neurath remains de jure Reichsprotected, but de facto does not take up his duties again, stays as far away from Prague as possible.
